HCM City sees lowest power loss nationwide

The Ho Chi Minh City Power Corporation will strive to maintain power
loss below 5.3 percent in 2014, which was the rate recorded in 2013.

In order to fulfil the target, the corporation, which posted
the lowest power loss out of all the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) units
in 2013, will roll out best operational modes and handle overloaded
transformers, among others.

The corporation will
continue implementing programmes to raise public awareness of power
saving and safety across the city.

It will focus on the
building and upgrading of underground electricity networks, striving to
complete 38 projects that began in 2013 and 34 others to be launched
this year.

Along with several projects to improve the
quality of power supply, the corporation also plans to establish smart
grids this year.

Last year, the city saved a total of 519.78
million kWh, exceeding 47.2 percent of the target set by EVN and making
up nearly 20 percent of the total energy saved by the group.-VNA
